Tomorrow I’m going to be participating in the Bridge to Brisbane “fun run”. Of
course I’m not the running type (ask my high school PE teacher) so I’ll be
walking. But I’m still going to go for the full 12 kilometres, and have just
compiled what I hope is the perfect playlist to keep me motivated throughout
the walk. Some of the highlights include:

I should reach the peak of the Gateway Bridge at the conclusion of “Superman March”

Climbing the bridge I will be motivated by TV themes, including: Knight Rider, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Simpsons Theme (by Green Day from the recent movie) and Stargate SG-1.

On the way down the bridge I will be consoled by tracks like: Teardrop and Piano Man.

I should complete the walk with the sounds of Black Betty by Spiderbait

On Thursday night my
brother was the victim of what can only be a new strategy to advertise the
final Harry Potter book, to be released today.

In true Harry Potter style, the owl (pictured left), swept into my brother’s
room. I heard the commotion as Nathan shouted at the owl to get out of his
room. Investigating, the owl was resting quietly in corner, but with some
encouragement and the use of blanket (or possibly Invisibility Cloak), I was
able to persuade the owl to leave the room through the open window.

This particular owl has been sitting outside my brother’s window for many
months now. Is it merely a coincidence that the owl entered now? I think not.

The i-think Awards site has been updated to fix issues with escaping of
quotes. This is the biggest rewrite to the core code in four years. Be sure to
use the Inquiries page if you run into trouble so it can be fixed
ASAP.Unfortunately the complete rewrite was not possible this year, but as
always is on the cards for next year.
